Should I upgrade to the Amex platinum? I travel every week and feel like it might be worth it.

Are you over 60 wearing a gold watch? It's the credit card for people who don't know better. Get a card that generates real value: CSR/JPM or Prestige. When you can expense dinner why are you opting for crappy lounge food?

Love the Amex Plat! CSR is similar and they each have their unique bennies, but platinum Amex is great! Lounge access has been an amazing perk and I have used it to no end. End of the day, if you use you card like a charge card, (to consolidate spend) then you'll do well! 🍻

Yes if you're going to use the lounges. Since the firm reimburses part of the fees and you have to pay for the regular Amex anyways to keep your points, it's not that much more if you get some use out of the additional benefits

Starting as an SM in S&A on the strategy side in the next few weeks. What does travel budget generally look like? I understand first class flights are a no go domestic which sucks, but hoping hotel and food budget makes up for it. Also, does Deloitte pay for platinum Amex or is that out of pocket?

I have $100k from an annuity invested with Schwab and managed by a brokerage firm. My parents set me all up with this when I got access to the funds at age 21. So I’m not sure of the complete breakdown other than the fact that it’s diversified according to my tolerance for risk
